Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Marine biological resources, including marine animals, plants, and microorganisms, contain many bioactive molecules, such as proteins, polysaccharides, unsaturated fatty acids, taurine, astaxanthin, etc. With the development of modern biotechnologies, marine biological resources are further processed using biological engineering, enzyme engineering, cell engineering, and other biotechnologies, which develop many high-value products, such as health seafood, marine drugs, marine agricultural products, marine cosmetics, functional materials, and medical biomaterials. In addition, processing by-products such as shells, bones, visceral organs, the boiling solutions of fish, shrimp, crab, oyster, scallops, sea cucumber, jellyfish, seaweeds, etc., still have many bioactive substances. These by-products can also be added with much more value by using advanced processing technology. Thus, research on the preparation, isolation, characterization, bioactive, structure, function, structure–effect relationship, and application of marine biological resources and processing by-products is significant for the high-value utilization of marine biological resources.
In the present Special Issue, we welcome original research articles and reviews related to food.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Marine Drugs.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Foods is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
